Saint Patrick's Day, or the  Feast of Saint Patrick  ("The Day of the Festival of Patrick"), 聖派翠克節(英語:Saint Patrick's Day),或稱為聖巴德利爵紀念日,是紀念愛爾蘭的主保聖人,聖派翠克主教(約385461年)的節日,在每年317日舉行。

公元432年, 聖派翠克受教皇派遣前往愛爾蘭勸說愛爾蘭人改信基督教。聖派翠克從威克洛上岸後,當地憤怒的非基督徒企圖用石頭將他砸死。聖派翠克臨危不懼,當即摘下一棵 三葉苜蓿,形象地闡明了聖父、聖子、聖靈三位一體的教義。他雄辯的演說使愛爾蘭人深受感動,接受了聖派翠克主施的隆重洗禮。461317日,聖派翠克逝世,愛爾蘭人為了紀念他,將這一天定為聖派翠克節。

這一節日5世紀末期起源於愛爾蘭,這一天後來成為愛爾蘭人的國慶節,同時也是北愛爾蘭的銀行休假日與愛爾蘭共和國、蒙特塞拉特和加拿大紐芬蘭與拉布拉多省的法定節假日。在加拿大其他地區、英國、澳大利亞、美國和紐西蘭,聖派翠克節雖然廣為慶祝,但不是法定的節假日。

Is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of  Saint Patrick (c. AD 385461), the foremost  patron saint  of  Ireland.

Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian  feast day  in the early 17th century and is observed by the  Catholic Church, the  Anglican Communion (especially the  Church of Ireland), [4]  the  Eastern Orthodox Church, and the  Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of  Christianity in Ireland, [3]  and celebrates the  heritage and culture  of  the Irish  in general. [5]  Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals,  cèilidhs, and the wearing of green attire or  shamrocks. [6]  Christians who belong to liturgical denominations also attend  church services [5] [7]  and historically the  Lenten restrictions  on eating  and  drinking alcohol  were lifted for the day, which has encouraged and propagated the holiday's tradition of alcohol consumption. [5] [6] [8] [9]

Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday  in the  Republic of Ireland, [10]  Northern Ireland, [11]  the Canadian province of  Newfoundland and Labrador  (for provincial government employees), and the British Overseas Territory of  Montserrat. It is also widely celebrated by the  Irish diaspora around the world, especially in the  United Kingdom,  Canada,  United States,  Brazil,  Argentina,  Australia  and  New Zealand. Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival. [12]  Modern celebrations have been greatly influenced by those of the Irish diaspora, particularly those that developed in North America. In recent years, there has been criticism of Saint Patrick's Day celebrations for having become too commercialised and for fostering negative stereotypes of the Irish people.

Saint Petersburg (n.) 聖彼得堡,中文俗稱彼得堡,是俄羅斯的聯邦直轄市,也是西北部聯邦管區和列寧格勒州的首府。位於俄羅斯西北部,瀕臨芬蘭灣,涅瓦河流經過市區,為俄羅斯在波羅的海一帶的重要港口。全市人口約520萬,是俄羅斯人口第二大城、以及世界上居民超過100萬人的最北端城市。此城是俄羅斯最西方化的城市 [8],也是俄羅斯文化、經濟、科學中心和交通樞紐之一。俄羅斯有眾多重要政府機構設於該市,包括俄羅斯聯邦憲法法院、紋章局、列寧格勒州政府、獨立國協聯盟議會大廈、俄羅斯海軍司令部和西部軍區司令部。

聖彼得堡由彼得大帝於1703527日建立,在1712年至1918年期間為俄羅斯帝國的首都,並為帝國三次大革命——第一次俄國革命、俄國二月革命、十月革命、十三月革命的中心。聖彼得堡多次因時空背景而易名:第一次世界大戰於1914年爆發後,聖彼得堡為因應當時「去日耳曼化」的風潮而改名為「彼得格勒」;在列寧逝世後又改名為「列寧格勒」。第二次世界大戰蘇德戰爭期間,列寧格勒被德軍圍城封鎖長達872天,導致多達150萬人死於飢餓,戰後該城被授予「英雄城市」稱號,並有三個下轄城市被授予「軍事榮譽城市」稱號——羅蒙諾索夫、克隆斯塔和科爾皮諾。1991年蘇聯解體後,列寧格勒經過公投決議後,恢復使用聖彼得堡的原名。

2013年,聖彼得堡制定了2030年戰略發展目標,屆時估計將有市民590萬人。以聖彼得堡為中心構築的城市群面積達1439平方公里,僅次於20112012年期間改制擴編的莫斯科城市群,在俄羅斯吞併了克里米亞後,聖彼得堡成為繼塞瓦斯托波爾後第二小的聯邦主體單位。

聖彼得堡歷史中心 及相關建築群被聯合國教科文組織列入世界遺產。旅遊業是聖彼得堡的核心產業之一,該市擁有眾多的文化景點,如冬宮、人類民族博物館、馬林斯基劇院、俄羅斯 國家圖書館、俄羅斯恐龍復活博物館、俄羅斯博物館、俄羅斯有羽毛恐龍博物館、彼得保羅要塞、聖以撒大教堂和聖基道霍大教堂等等。

Situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, it was founded by Tsar Peter the Great on May 27  [O.S. 16]  1703. On 1 September 1914, the name was changed from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd , on 26 January 1924 to Leningrad, and on 7 September 1991 back to Saint Petersburg. [10]  Between 1713 and 1728 and in 17321918, Saint Petersburg was the capital of Imperial Russia. In 1918, the central government bodies moved to Moscow. [11]

Saint Petersburg is one of the modern cities of Russia, as well as its cultural capital. [12]  The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a  UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world.
